Principles of management Henry Ford

Don’t be afraid of the future and do not take respectfully to the past. Who’s afraid of the future (failures), he limits the scope of its activities. Failures give only reason to start over more intelligently. Honest failure is not shameful: shame fear of failure. The past is useful only in the sense that it shows us ways and means to development.

Don’t pay attention to competition. Let the one who is better cope with. Attempt to upset or whose business is crime, because it means trying to upset in the pursuit of profit the life of another person and install instead of reason the rule of force.

Work for the common good raise the benefits. No profit cannot hold anything. Basically there is no profit in anything bad. Well established company, bringing great benefits, should bring a lot of revenue and will bring such. But the yield should be in the end useful work, and not lie at its base.

Conduct gambling, to speculate and to be dishonest it means only hinder this process.

Moral principle is a human right.

The prosperity of the manufacturer depends ultimately also on the benefits that it brings to the people.
